Its not a honey trap, a honey trap is where the honey isn't worth the trapage, this is more like a cheap honey trial, i wont be spending anything on saints row DLC outside of some insane-o-deal and getting the prequel cheap when a sequel is coming is good business and great for the customer.

And the honey is some of the best in its field... I've forgotten where I was taking this metaphor.

Wasn't the SR3 Full Package edition just $15 in the Steam Autumn sale? That's certainly a great deal if you want to have it all, and I imagine the price will be the same in the upcoming Winter sale. Of course, if you want to help out charity... or THQ, which is itself like charity, by all means. I already own the games, but I may buy a bundle to gift them out. Besides, there can never be enough Metro 2033 being enjoyed out there in the world.

On another note, don't just write off Red Faction Armageddon. I'm in the minority that actually liked it. No, it didn't have the open world of Guerilla, but it was still fun, and the nano "rebuilding" tool was really cool. Wish they could've patched that into Guerilla :)

Haven't tried it to know exactly what it does/doesn't work on. Pre-orders give you a 35% off voucher to use also (although note it's only valid for 21 days).

I got a bunch of games from GMG for my Steam account, both pre-orders and regular, but a ton of people including some of my friends had problems with their payments to them as well. So when I see a deal there now, I am a little reluctant to go tell people about it.

Cracked and got another copy* of Spellforce 2 on GOG, just to have a fully DRM free copy and the soundtrack (which is excellent).

For $4 it's an excellent game and, if anyone is interested in it, while some people prefer the first it's probably better to start at the sequel and work backwards if you enjoyed it. Have a Eurogamer review.

Some people are insane beyond all reason. F#@K SPELLFORCE(1) its a disgusting grindy accumulative drain on your psyche. Spellforce 2 seemed fine, but I was too exhausted by the original to try it at the time.

Obligatory counterpoint that Spellforce 1 was a delightful game full of interesting things that didn't quite work right, and Spellforce 2 was just a typical RTS with most of the interesting bits removed.

Helio I implore you to try Spellforce 2 sometime, things happen far faster in it and the game has more soul. I also hear the coop is excellent if you're interested in such things.

Nathan while S2 did... distill some of the features of S1 I'd say it's just as much RPG if not more than the first. Maybe not in terms of player creation but far more so when it comes to loot, companions, missions/maps, plot and quests.

Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space is pay-what-you-want from Indie Games Stand tomorrow, and for a few days after. Has anyone played it - any opinions beyond "looks a bit like FTL"?

Although it might look that way on paper, it's not like FTL at all. Where FTL is tense and intense, hard, tactical and as such demands a great deal of micromanagement, Weird Worlds is casual fun, designed to be played over a coffee or lunch break - actual gameplay is pretty light, it's more about the sense of discovery and exploration of taking a trip around the galaxy.

You choose the duration of the adventure at the beginning of each game, and try to make it as far as you can, but always bound to go back to your home planet before time runs out - nothing bad happens if you're late, except your score is reduced.
